During the early morning hours of Sunday July 8, 2007 the Grand Rapids Police Department and the community that they served lived every police agencies worse nightmare. A dedicated, experienced and beloved officer, Robert Kozminski was murdered in the line of duty.
Officer Kozminski had a selfless desire to serve his community. He was finishing a police run when a call for assistance was requested in a domestic violence investigation with threats against the family members. The suspect was known to be armed and was threatening harm against the family. Unbeknown to the officers responding to the call the suspect was preparing to ambush them as they arrived.
Shortly after his arrival Officer Kozminski was fatally shot and killed while searching for the armed gunman. Officer Kozminski’s death both shattered the community and scarred the department.
